Kexts used:

Kext	Description	for
AppleALC.kext	Used for AppleHDA patching, allowing support for the majority of on-board sound controllers.	Audio
IntelMausi.kext	Intel's 82578, 82579, I217, I218 and I219 NICs are officially supported.	Ethernet
Lilu.kext	Patch many processes, required for AppleALC, WhateverGreen, VirtualSMC and many other kexts.
SMCProcessor.kext	Used for monitoring CPU temperature, doesn't work on AMD CPU based systems.
SMCSuperIO.kext	Used for monitoring fan speed, doesn't work on AMD CPU based systems.
VirtualSMC.kext	Emulates the SMC chip found on real macs, without this macOS will not boot. Alternative is FakeSMC which can have better or worse support, most commonly used on legacy hardware.
WhateverGreen.kext	Used for graphics patching, DRM fixes, board ID checks, framebuffer fixes, etc; all GPUs benefit from this kext.
NVMeFix	Used for fixing power management and initialization on non-Apple NVMe.	NVMe device
SATA-Unsupported	Adds support for a large variety of SATA controllers, mainly relevant for laptops which have issues seeing the SATA drive in macOS. We recommend testing without this first.
RestrictEvents	Better experience with unsupported processors like AMD, Disable MacPro7,1 memory warnings and provide upgrade to macOS Monterey via Software Updates when available.

GPU Specific `boot-args`

Parameter	Description
agdpmod=pikera	Used for disabling board ID checks on Navi GPUs(RX 5000 series), without this you'll get a black screen. Don't use if you don't have Navi (ie. Polaris and Vega cards shouldn't use this).
alcid="XX''	layout 11, 12, 23, 66, 69, 77

Special notes

USB port mapping is REQUIRED. Guide
XhciPortLimit - Needed DISABLE if you use Big Sur 11.3+.
- Please Mapping USB in macOS Catalina before install Big Sur or Newer for best results.USBPorts.kext
AppleXcpmCfgLock - Please ENABLE if you cannot disableCFG-Lock in BIOS.
Does NOT SUPPORT iGPU in 11th Gen.
You NEED dGPU (dedicated/discrete GPU (eg. RX 560, 570, 580, 590, RX 5700 XT, etc).

For Intel 11th gen CPU users

Your iGPU will not be supported in macOS due to Apple's transistion to Apple Silicon, so you can skip the iGPU configuration step. Using an F-series CPU would be beneficial here.

Also, 11th Gen CPUs are required to change the CPUID by adding these entries under Root > Kernel > Emulate as Apple also doesn't support them out of the box:

Key	Type	Value
Cpuid1Data	Data	<EA060900000000000000000000000000>
Cpuid1Mask	Data	<FFFFFFFF000000000000000000000000>
DummyPowerManagement	Boolean	0
MaxKernel	String
MinKernel	String

Config your iGPU

Not required if you don't have one. Follow these instructions.

Map your USB

Using USBToolBox is recommended. Map your ASM107x USB controller (entries 2.0 and 3.0) as type 255 (Internal) as those two stay on all the time.

Note: You must exclude your RGB controller during the mapping process, as it will cause sleep problems and the RGB LEDs will freeze until you fully halt the machine.

Add your own `PlatformInfo` entries using GenSMBIOS

Use:

iMac20,1 if you have an 8-core or lower CPU with an iGPU (ie. i7-10700)
iMac20,2 if you have a 10-core CPU (ie. i9-10900)
iMacPro1,1 (or MacPro7,1 with the RestrictEvents kext) if you don't have an iGPU (ie. AMD dGPU with a F-series CPU such as the i5-10400F like me).
